Unless you’re in the US, then they text secret plans directly to you

Even if you didn’t want them ;-)

I’d prefer a minute, this might have been over by now.

Yeah I get that, it’s why I don’t use FB anymore. I keep WhatsApp for close family though. They’re is no other option. And dont tell me to use text. Doesn’t cut it.

Before getting on our high horse - there are mercenaries of various nationalities fighting on the Ukrainian side as well as the Russian side, that doesn’t mean their governments support them.

This. The average user doesn’t want to know about the workings and ‘All that technical stuff’, and why should they?

They want to click an icon and have everything and everyone there. They shouldn’t have to swap instances or what have you.

I put Mastodon on a back burner as it’s just too clunky (for me at least) and am currently interacting with people from all over on BlueSky. Half the time on Mastodon (various apps/instances, web, or browser) I couldn’t even log on.

BlueSky will probably go the way of others. Yes, there is a troll problem, and you need to be wary. But I had the same to a lesser extent on Mastodon.

In the end, I’ve had to accept my relatives, work, and old Army colleagues will never be on there, I’ve become resigned to that and keep a WhatsApp account for that reason.

Yes it is. The quote was just the way he speaks. A fountain of word diarrhoea.

Brilliant.

I’d be more convinced if he was outside a furniture store.

Gallows are another.

See, I don’t think this is The Onion anymore. Because this stuff lately is just so plausible.

I thought this sub was supposed to be for posts from The Onion?

“You look like the piss boy!”

I though this was an Onion article.

Holy crap! They’ll be looking for chimney sweeps next.

Iran or Saudi deal harshly with sex offenders* don’t they?

*Or just anyone really.

Lloyd Bridges clip from Airplane springs to mind.

UK here we don’t want him.

That’s all too often the case here as well (Hertford/Ware UK).

It’s all bet good and noble shopping local, but not all of us can afford it. Or they don’t/ can’t/won’t stock it.
